Near Term • Continue to increase capability by introducing product improvements including

advanced enablers (i.e., optics), lightweight materials, barrels, and ammunition improvements to legacy weapons

• Develop Precision and Crew Served Small Arms Fire Control • Continue efforts to inform new requirements

Mid Term • Increase Soldier lethality through Small Arms Fire Control and Optics • Integrate technology advances from S&T programs and product improvements into

current and next generation small arms systems • Divest legacy precision weapons and replace with a single, multi-caliber capability

Far Term: • Apply emerging (“revolutionary”) technologies to the design/development of new

types of weapons including command/self guided systems and directed energy solutions if soldier portable

Path Forward

XM914 (30mm Auto Cannon Chain Gun)

Increases lethality of Scout vehicles in the IBCT to better conduct reconnaissance and surveillance missions

Example

Description:

• Vehicle mounted, link fed, externally powered weapon with an extended length barrel for enhanced muzzle velocity

Requirement:

• Directed requirement dated 5 July 2016

Desired Capabilities: • Provides increased lethality over the M2 and

MK19 • Paired with a Remote Weapon Station
